Ka-Bar Cutlass Machete: Purpose-Built for the Field

The Ka-Bar Cutlass Machete is a serious tool for serious work. Whether you're clearing brush around camp, chopping weeds, or trimming small branches and limbs, this machete delivers the performance you need.

Blade Design and Materials

SK5 Steel Construction — The 11-inch blade is forged from SK5 steel, a proven material that holds an edge while remaining easy to maintain in the field. The hollow-ground profile reduces weight without sacrificing chopping power, and the 20-degree edge angle is optimized for cutting efficiency.

Black Powder Coat Finish — The blade features a durable black powder coat that resists corrosion and reduces glare.

Handle and Ergonomics

The handle is constructed from Kraton-G, an ergonomic elastomer that provides a secure, comfortable grip even when wet or gloved. The overall length of 16.5 inches gives you reach without excessive weight, making extended use less fatiguing.

What's Included

Every Cutlass Machete comes with a Leather/Cordura sheath designed for safe carry and storage. The combination construction provides durability and protection for both the blade and your gear.

The Bottom Line

This is a Ka-Bar tool—built to work, designed to last, and ready for whatever the outdoors demands.
